JAMES BUMGARDNER. JR.
In answer to loud calls, Capt. James
Bumgardner, Jr., took the stand. So
great was the cheering on his appearance
that it was some time before he could
proceed. After regretting the absence of
Mr.. Goode, in way highly complimentary

one which showed more plainly by the
faces in it that it was thoroughly aroused.

people of Augusta to go to the polls aud

want on their own. (applause,)
